位于北加州大苏尔地区,这个2500平方英尺的两居室的房子是为一个家庭在周末和假期一起享受而建的。它是一个现代主义结构,轻巧地坐落在土地上,承认该地生态脆弱的性质。房子由四个体量组成,都由不同的材料制成,它们相互交织,相互联系,创造出视觉和空间上复杂的外部和内部空间。

Located in the Big Sur area of Northern California, this 2,500 square foot 2 bedroom house was built for a family to enjoy together on the weekends and holidays. It is a modernist structure that sits lightly on the land, acknowledging the ecologically fragile nature of the site. The house is composed of four volumes, all made of different materials, that are interwoven and interconnected to create visually and spatially complex exterior and interior spaces.

房子的主要体量与峡谷平行,有一个蝴蝶屋顶和玻璃角,在开放的两端伸向天空和光线。薄薄的屋顶巧妙地坐落在挤压玻璃带之上,用外部看不见的极细的杆件与屋顶结构连接。在房子的四角,两层楼高的透明窗户将红杉的景色和峡谷山脊的天空框住。

The main volume of the house runs parallel to the canyon with a butterfly roof and glass corners that reach out to the sky and the light at the open ends. The thin roof sits delicately above a band of extruded glass, connecting to the roof structure with extremely thin rods that are invisible on the exterior. At the corners of the house, two story clear windows frame the views of the redwoods and the sky at the ridge of the canyon.

这个体量是用立缝铜板包覆的。在底层,两间卧室分别位于房子的两端,中间是两层的公共生活空间,壁炉室–向伯纳德-梅贝克的建筑致敬–上面是阁楼图书馆。卧室里15英尺高的窗户溶解了空间的角落,将光线和视野带入房屋的卧室和生活空间。在二楼,空间是开放的,图书馆和公共睡房与下面的两层卧室用玻璃板分开。

This volume is clad in standing seam copper. On the ground floor, two bedrooms at the opposing ends of the house enclose in the middle the two story communal living space, the fireplace room — a homage to the architecture of Bernard Maybeck—and the loft library above. The fifteen-foot high windows in the bedrooms dissolve the corners of the spaces, bringing light and views into the bedroom and living spaces of the house. On the second floor, the space is open with the library and communal sleeping room separated from the two story bedrooms below by glass panels.

透明玻璃和挤压槽玻璃的组合在内部反射和斑驳的光线,创造了一个千变万化的内部,全天都有温暖的光与影的游戏。

A combination of transparent glass and extruded channel glass reflects and dapples the light on the inside, creating an ever-changing interior with a warm play of light and shadow throughout the day.
